Today The show’s co-anchor, Savannah Guthrie, renewed her contract with NBC News, keeping her in the morning anchor chair even as other networks cull top talent in the streaming era. The program dominates its rivals Hello America And CBS Mornings, Variety reports, drawing about 3 million viewers during its first two hours and more than $300 million in advertising revenue annually across its entire weekday block. The length of Guthrie’s extension has not been announced and NBC declined to comment. Guthrie, 54, started at NBC in 2011.
Guthrie endured personal tragedy in public view this year as Arizona authorities investigate the disappearance of his mother, Nancy, and Variety reports that there was speculation in the industry as to whether she would stay with Today. The anchor remains at the heart of the network’s coverage of major news events and will host NBC’s upcoming game show based on Wordle. She is also expected to co-host the network’s coverage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, according to the Los Angeles Times.
